Structure Of Viral Harpoon Protein Reveals How Viruses Enter Cells Date: January 6, 2006 Source: NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Summary: A team of researchers has solved ...

The Ljungan virus is a picornavirus that lacks the internal coat protein VP4, and the packaging of its RNA genome is poorly understood. Here, the authors use cryo-electron microscopy to visualize ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — There is no cure for the common cold. But there are cures — or at least vaccines — for other viruses, and researchers are working hard to build a toolbox to be able to rapidly ...

The structure reveals that the capsid has an interior helical core around which the RNA is wound (Science 2015, DOI: 10.1126/science.aaa5137).

The crystal structure at 3.0 Å resolution and the low resolution cryo-EM reconstruction of PaV both reveal a dodecahedral cage of 30 RNA duplexes inside the icosahedral virus capsid.

They are studying five viruses that represent the major subgroups of flaviviruses and alphaviruses, including West Nile, tick-borne encephalitis, dengue, chikungunya and Venezuelan equine encephalitis ...
